Free Disposal Day Event at Lancaster Landfill - April 9, 2022

Waste Management in partnership with Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger will host a free dumping day for residents of unincorporated Los Angeles County communities in the Antelope Valley.

Residents of unincorporated communities will be able to dump a ton of trash – including appliances and furniture -- per household between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9 at the Lancaster Landfill, 600 East Ave. F, the Supervisor’s office announced.

People must bring a driver’s license or other proof of residency in an unincorporated area. Unincorporated areas include Lake Los Angeles, Quartz Hill, Antelope Acres, Hi Vista, Llano, Pearblossom, Sun Village, Littlerock, Valyermo, Acton, Elizabeth Lake, Lake Hughes, Green Valley, Roosevelt, Agua Dulce, Fairmont, Neenach, Three Points, Leona Valley, Desert View Highlands and Juniper Hills.

Kern County communities and people who live within the city limits of Palmdale and Lancaster are excluded from the event.

No business waste, tires or household hazardous waste – such as paint, used motor oil or batteries – will be accepted April 9.

Free tire collection events are scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at Los Angeles County Public Works road yards in the Antelope Valley: 4859 West Ave. L-12, Quartz Hill; 38126 Sierra Highway, Palmdale; 17341 East Ave. J, Lake Los Angeles, and 8505 East Ave. T, Littlerock.

The free dumping day is in addition to the free landfill vouchers that are available for unincorporated area residents and property owners from Supervisor Barger’s Antelope Valley office.

The vouchers, usable at Waste Management landfills in either Palmdale or Lancaster and good for one ton of trash each, are available every 12 months for each property or household. Unincorporated area residents or property owners must call (661) 726-3600 to reserve a voucher before going to the office, 42455 10th St. West, Suite 104, Lancaster.

In addition, the Antelope Valley Environmental Collection Center operates on the first and third Saturday of each month to accept household hazardous waste such as paint, oil and batteries as well as old electronic devices such as TVs, monitors, computers and printers.

The center is open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the first and third Saturday of every month at 1200 West City Ranch Road, Palmdale, west of Tierra Subida Avenue, adjoining Waste Management’s Antelope Valley landfill.
